Currently, I find myself looking for new opportunities. I am confident in my own skills but always recognize potential areas for personal growth. As such, I set goals which take me outside of my comfort zone and serve to round out my own experiences and understanding. I also seek a broader understanding of project goals which extends beyond isolated tasks. Previously, I served as an entry-level structural engineer at Larson Eng. in Naperville. During my time at Larson I worked closely with clients and colleagues, to provide both preliminary structural designs and detailing for steel connections and staircases. In doing so, I became familiar with steel, wood, and masonry fasteners and the methods by which they are evaluated. Lastly, I conducted site visits and provided subsequent assessments of existing and new roof truss systems. Prior to working for Larson Eng., I served as a lab assistant in the large-scale structural testing facility at UIUC and co-managed the preparation of test specimens for use in a series of hybrid simulations. Prior to this I was involved with the NEESreu program. The research I conducted for NEES is detailed below and loosely relates to a larger project which examined the nature of progressive collapse in older reinforced concrete structures. I also served as a teaching assistant for Steel Structures II and have been involved with EERI in various facets as a student.
Listed skills include Design Of Reinforced Concrete Structures, Design Of Steel Structures, Foundation Design, Matlab, and 9 others.
